The song was written by journalist Peppino Turco and was set by Luigi Denza in 1880. They drew the inspiration from the inauguration of the first funicular of Mt.Vesuvius. They composed this music in few hours, and in spite of that the song met with success. The famous melody was sang the first time in the rooms of Quisisana Hotel in Castellammare di Stabia. Turco and Denza presented it to the Piedigrotta’s day in the same year. The success roused contributed to diffuse Neapolitan song in the world and to recall a lot of tourists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you know\nwhere I got on, yesterday evening, baby?\nWhere this ungrateful heart can't be spiteful to me more!\nWhere the fire burns, but if you\nrun away it let you go!\nAnd it doesn't run after you,\ndoesn't tire you, looking at sky!...\nLet go on, let go, let go,\nfuniculi', funicula'!\n\nWe go from the ground to the\nmountain, baby! Without walking!\nYou can see France, Procida and\nSpain...\n I see you!\nPulled by a rope, no sooner said\nthan done, we go to the skies..\nWe go like the wind all of a sudden, go up, go up!\nLet go on, let go, let go,\nfuniculi', funicula'!\n\nThe head has already got on,\nbaby, got on!\nIt has gone, then returned, then\ncome...\nIt is still here!\nThe head turns, turns, around,\naround,\naround you!\nThis heart always sings one of these days Get married to me, baby!\nLet go on, let go, let go,\nfuniculi', funicula'!<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
